Apart from the huge force from the clutch pushing the piston back, just changing the master (with or without hose) won't change where in the slave cylinder the piston operates.

First, I just replaced the rubber hose, so I dont think it's at fault. The SS is about 6 months old. Actually this is the second time it's done this.
